I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity and see how the rip off merchants We Buy Any Car compared with What Car?

Your comment is lacking credibility. Definition of obsessed: To preoccupy the mind of excessively. Definition of excessive: Exceeding a normal, usual, reasonable, or proper limit. I have made 2 or 3 posts (I can't recall precisely) involving WBAC and many months have passed in between. I have no desire to sell the car just simple curiosity. I have many other matters that occupy my mind other than WBAC. Despite the lack of credibility in your comment, there is no need to apologise.

You have been on there more than me, obsessed may be a little strong. But you are always shocked of what the value of your car is too them! |

I like to check in now and then with What Car? too. WBAC is just for a laugh really because their offers are very daft. I just found the comparison amusing. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Auto trader is a good site. Their search facility covers main dealer and independent garages and saves time searching dealers stock individually. Not sure how quickly it updates when dealers sell a vehicle though. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Well ive never been on either of those sites but fare comment. It just goes to show if your too quick to sell then you could loose a lot of money. |

That GMFV is interesting. When I look at used prices for FL2's on Autotrader, even the earliest examples with more miles than the Starship Enterprise are going for between £8-8,500. Would you be tempted to hang on to it, or enter another finance agreement? Just being nosey really! |

In theory yes depending on the FL3 if it emerges in time. It all depends what happens IF I get my degree next year and where I go with it because I may need to downsize to something more economical if I have to pay for any more courses LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Guess WBAC is being influenced by lack of a winter and lack of demand for used FL2. When I was looking to sell my 2010 GS late last year WBAC pricing was competitive and increasing almost on a weekly basis as we headed into winter.

Not all LR dealers use it though - so pays to check the LR site too |

that site should be re named to WE ROB ANY CAR .com i was told that wbac .com is part of CAR CRAFT this come from a work colleague i work with if so that's why valuations are so low i have also heard that if you are satisfied with there offer on your vehicle you will be asked to take it to one of there local centres where it will be looked at and if necessary re priced lower if your description is different than the one you gave or if they find marks to the inertia or scratches on the bodywork i did do a little test with them when my free-lander 2011my was 11mts old with 10k on the clock i asked them for a valuation this vehicle is totally un marked and is in prestene condition

Your car is worth as much as someone is prepared to pay for it - which obviously changes dependant on seasonal effects... It's spring so naturally people want soft tops, not 4x4s - we had a relatively tame winter and so people are not so worried, also fuel price is going up and so people are looking for economical cars!
